Top Ten Tuesday--Top Ten Contemporary YA Books I Read in 2014

Top Ten Contemporary YA Books I Read in 20141. The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl: An all around fun read, definitely more enjoyable than it may seem.

2. The Perfectionists: Although it was reminiscent of Pretty Little Liars, I found this one a little more enjoyable. There's a lot of twists that you don't see coming. A great read.

3. My Life With the Walter Boys: So many book boyfriends, and great moments.
4. Sway: Very realistic, and easily lovable. Definitely one of the better contemporaries.
5. Kiss of Broken Glass: Loved this one. Read it in one sitting. Great writing!
6. Melt: Just loved this one, amazing writing, and great characters.

7. V is for Virgin: I really loved the characters in this one. Can't wait to read book two.
8. Swimming Through Clouds: One word. Lagan.
9. Say What You Will: I definitely didn't expect some of the things that happened in this book but the author really kept this book true to life.
10. Puddle Jumping--It was in the nomination rounds on Goodreads for nothing. This book is amazing. I'm so glad I discovered it on A Whimsical Reader blog. SO worth buying!

I have not ventured out into comtemporary YA, but it seems like that the hottest Genre out right now!!! Some of these are on my TBR list however, because they been getting so much praise. Check out my TTT

I can't believe I haven't read any of these.....My contemporary loving self is shaking her head wondering how that happened! Glad to hear that The Perfectionists is better than PLL....Might give that one a try!Great list :-)

Say What You Will has like the prettiest cover and I want to read it simply because of that :)The rest have covers that come in as close second's. That's one of the things I love about contemporaries, their covers are amazing.

Oh I've been meaning to give The Perfectionists a try. PLL was fun but it's been draging like 12 books too long IMO O_O I also really want to read My Life With the Walter Boys I've heard so much great things about it!
